RichFaces 4.0 and JSF 1.2

[maynard]

As far as I have read release documentation, then 4.0 requires JSF 2.0. I guess - this is rather strong requirement, because migration can be no easy. Primefaces, e.g., maintains two branches - 1.x and 2.x for 1.2 and 2.0 JSF respectively. Is there tutorial how to migrate JBDS 3.0 JSF 1.2 project to JSF2.0. Besides - I would like to keep my project running on JBoss 4.3.2, because this is compatible with the recent stable Drools release (I had problems to run Drools on higher JBoss servers).

Some of the 4.0 features are sounds really, really nice - like scrollable ExtendedDataTable

After reading threads like:

http://www.seamframework.org/Community/JSF20Support

there can be doubts whether RF 4.0 can be used with the current stable Seam 2.2 version at all.

Hi Maynard,

Yes, RF 4 is compatible with JSF 2 only. You can use RF 3.3.3.Final with JSF 2.0.

Nick is 100% correct.

We will be working on a migration guide, scripts, and perhaps a migration-bridge library to assist users shifting from one to the other.

Also RichFaces 4 will be compatible with Seam 3/Weld.
